About this album

Sound: "A vibrant blend of infectious pop melodies and danceable rhythms capturing the essence of late '80s R&B."

Where they were

All or Nothing was Milli Vanilli's second album, following their blockbuster debut, Girl You Know It's True, which catapulted them to fame in 1989. At this point, they were navigating the pressures of maintaining their explosive popularity while facing scrutiny over their authenticity as performers.

Why it matters

The album includes the hit single 'Girl You Know It's True', which would later be enveloped in controversy due to the group's lip-syncing scandal. Despite its commercial success and peak positions on international charts, the ensuing fallout from their deception led to Grammy revocation and a significant shift in public perception of the duo.

Essential tracks

  • "Baby Don't Forget My Number" — 'Baby Don't Forget My Number' showcases catchy hooks and upbeat production that encapsulate the infectious energy of late '80s pop music.
  • "I'm Gonna Miss You" — This track features heartfelt lyrics and smooth vocals, highlighting the emotional depth that contrasted with their otherwise dance-oriented sound.
  • "Girl You Know It's True" — 'Girl You Know It's True' is not only a defining track of their career but also a cultural touchstone that would become synonymous with their eventual downfall.
